Bought this beautiful Wurlitzer accordion. It barely works. Just enough for my one song, “Marion’s Bicycle.”

   The accordion is a fun instrument to play, I wish I had mine here with me in The Korea but it’s 7,000 miles away! Daggnabbit!

   You are a cartoon! Cheers!

   Yes, Tony… your 1989 performance of Marion’s Bicycle is a classic. Will you be recording a 2011 version?

   I’m just about to buy a 1935 Hohner Organetta IV. Then learn how to play it! Should be good for Tom Waits-style melancholy stuff in tandem with my main instrument, the bass trombone.

   I know some lovely people who do fantastic work with accordions, if you’re looking for a fix. I know you’re not in SF, but at the very least, they could probably point you towards other lovely people closer to you.
